The Contribution of Macrophyte-Derived Organic Matter to Microbial Biomass in Salt-Marsh Sediments: Stable Carbon Isotope Analysis of Microbial Biomarkers

Stable carbon isotope ratios of bacterial biomarkers were determined to infer sources of organic carbon used by bacteria in the sediments of three salt marshes. Biomarkers studied were polar lipid-derived fatty acids (PLFA), mainly bacteria-specific, methyl-branched il5:0 and a15 :0. Experiments sho...
